FOLIC ACID OR FOLATE? - the terms folic acid and folate are often used interchangeably for the water-soluble B-complex vitamin, essential for the maintenance of cellular functions and health. Quatrefolic is the glucosamine salt of (6S)-5-methyltetrahydrofolate and is structurally similar to the reduced and active form of folic acid.
SUPERIOR BIOAVAILABILITY - Supplementation with 5-methyltetrahydrofolate is preferable to the one with folic acid, as it is immediately bioavailable to react with homocysteine to avoid the possibility to incur in hyperhomocysteinemia. Troo Methyl Folate with Quatrefolic provides the active form of folate, 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, naturally present in the body and available for its biological action.
EASY TRANSIT - Quatrefolic passes the gastric barrier and is absorbed mainly in the small intestine by a carrier mediated mechanism. The carrier is not saturated and this enables Quatrefolic to ensures a higher folate uptake.
